Did anybody knows the color code of the split steering wheel and the tube vw used on split beetles?
Itīs a kind of brown.
Maybe there is a color from other companys (like
Mercedes, BMW, Ford ....) that belongs to this color...?

Thanks
Axel

I got help from a paint shop here in Norway to match this color. They came up with a Lada color...

The match was really good. After some years in the sun I could not see the difference between a new and old part.

I'll check up what the code is. Just have to find the old box first..

No need for that. I allready had some of this paint on the backside of an old split wheel. Just have to wait some hours before it dries up:-)

I'll post pictures later.

I have found a color named RAL 8025 thatīs very close to the split
steering and the tube (also handbrake and shifter).
In german itīs called "Blassbraun".
The steering is a little bit lighter than the tube.
